Sometimes you get a very simple salad. Iceberg lettuce, sliced tomato, and a perfect vinaigrette. Other times, you’re served a mountain of ingredients. Carrots, onions, garbanzo beans, cucumbers, crutons, 6 kinds of lettuce, beets, artichokes, olives, walnuts, and on and on. This is a good analogy to explain the drawing you’re looking at. My friends and I each drew the same gazelle at the Natural History Museum and each of us walked away with a simple salad. But I went home and added all kinds of extra ingredients because I’m trying to overcompensate for some kind of inner feeling of mediocracy. So I end up with this enourmous salad. It’s family style, so help yourself.
